BrELT Webinar with Rob Howard about EFLtalks

It seems everybody is running nowadays. For this weekend, though, what if you ditched the physical marathon for professional development marathon? Rob Howard will be hosting 10 hours of short and sweet webinars (5 hours on Saturday, 5h on Sunday). And we do mean ‘short’: each webinar takes 10 min only! Just like in the successful EFLtalks 2015, the idea is to go straight to the point, no fillers or waffle, just the juice of it.

However, there is a twist. In 2016 the topics of the webinars were not proposed by the presenters. They were questions sent by teachers like you and me, questions that nag us in our daily practice and reflections, such as:

How important is it to speak perfectly as a teacher?

Where can I find a good source of kids songs available for class?

How important is drilling?

How do you deal with those old nagging fossilized errors that adult learners often have?

EFLtalks 2016 has everything to be a success, but it is, we understand, different from the professional development events we are all used to. Make it VERY different. That is why BrELT is hosting a 30-minute webinar with the man behind the project, Rob Howard, for him to explain the logic and the logistics of EFLtalks.

So come meet us this Thursday at 10 pm (at Brasilia Daylight Saving Time = UTC-2) to get to know more about the EFLtalks project and have all your questions answered. The link to the webinar will be made available here on the blog and in the community 15 min prior, but you can also watch it (and ask questions!) if you log onto our YouTube channel: youtube.com/breltchatchannel.
